TEL AVIV (JTA) Former Foreign Minister
Moshe Dayan hinted strongly over the weekend that
Israel possesses a nuclear option and would not hesitate
Jo use it if faced with destruction by combined Arab
forces. Addressing the Political and Social forum, a non-

continues, he said.
FINANCE MINISTER Yigal
Hurwitz, who also addressed the
forum, said that more taxes
would not solve the inflation
problem because they would lead
only to more price hikes. What is
needed, he said, is a strong
government capable of effecting a
radical change in the present
structure of Israel's economy. He
referred to the imbalance between
production and service workers.
The service sector is by far larger
than warranted, he said.

LONDON From a
purely Israeli point of
view, the most disturbing
aspect of the latest reliable
reports on the development
of an "Islamic Bomb" by
Pakistan is naturally the
deep involvement in the
project of the un-
predictable and mercurial
Libyan dictator, Colonel
Qaddafi.
Having earlier tried and
| failed to purchase a nuclear
bomb "off the shelves" from
China for eventual use against
Israel, Qaddafi offered unlimited
financial backing to Pakistan
which embarked on a nuclear
project after India had suc-
cessfully tested her own atomic
device in 1974.
ALTHOUGH Bhutto was still
Prime Minister at the time, the
Islamic dimension of the project
was there from its inception.
During his trial by the military
regime of Gen. Zia, which sub-
sequently executed him, Bhutto
declared: "We all know that
Israel and South Africa have full
nuclear capability. The Christian,
Jewish and Hindu civilizations
have this capability. The
Communist powers the Soviet
Union and China also possess
it. Only the Islamic civilization
was without it, but the position
was about to change."
A detailed reconstruction of
how Pakistan has been
developing her nuclear capability
was provided recently in a well-
research television documentary
on BBC's Panorama program
and in Strategic Survey 1979.
IN A chapter entitled
"Pakistan's Quest for the
Bomb," the Survey recorded that
"by late 1978 and early 1979 it
became evident that she was
building an uranium enrichment
facility using the gas centrifuge
process to produce weapon-grade
uranium."
The recent Panorama program
presented by Tom Tibbenham,
showed how this was done. It
also stated that Qadaffi's only
condition for financial support

Hut Israel never said that it
vill miss the timetable, Dayan
declared. He observed that the
(Arabs have some 7,000 tanks
which they could use against
Israel on the eastern front.
Should Israel be in danger of
[destruction, "it will be, to the
Ibest of my evaluation, in a
Iposition to tell the Arabs: 'if you
[want to destroy us, we are
[capable of destroying you as
I well,' "he said.
SPEAKING ON the future Dayan,
of the West Bank, Dayan main-
tained that Israel cannot give up
the right of deploying its troops
along the Jordan and in specific
areas of Judaea and Samaria as
agreed to at Camp David. "If the
Arabs are able to move into these
areas without the permission of
the Israeli army, we would be
allowing the dismantling and dis-
integration of the State of
Israel," he said.

NEW YORK A survey of
I the major newspapers and
magazines published in West
Germany has revealed that most
of the West German press
confirms the charge, made
originally by the American
Jewish Committee, that the
Oberammergau Passion Play is
basically anti-Semitic, and that
the 1980 production, despite
some cosmetic changes in the
text, remains anti-Jewish in its
I overall effect.
The survey, conducted by the
AJC's Interreligious Affairs De-
partment, examined articles and
editorials in big-city dailies such
as the Suddeutsche Zeitung and
Munchner Merkur of Munich, the
frankfurter AUgemeine Zeitung,
\l)ie Zeit of Hamburg, and Die
I ll I'll, a nationwide newspaper
vith regional editions.
ALSO INCLUDED were the
! national news magazines, Der
Spiegel and Der Stern, as well as
the popular picture magazine
Hunte, and two church pub-
lications, Zur Debatte, published
y the Bavarian Catholic
Academy, and Kirchenzeitung.
Small-city newspapers were typi-
fied by the Schongauer Nach-
nchten, issued near Oberam-
mergau.
Commenting on the many
strong condemnations of the
anti-Semitic character of the
Oberammergau Passion Play
that appeared in critical reviews
in the German press following the
play's opening last month, Rabbi
Marc H. Tanenbaum, AJC's
national director of Interreligious
Affairs, expressed the belief that
"this virtually unanimous
repudiation of anti-Jewish ideas
and images in this traditional
Passion Play by the most influ-
ential public opinion media in
Germany suggests that a major
educational achievement has
been realized in the struggle to
uproot the poisonous weeds of
anti-Semitism in certain
traditions of medieval Christian
folk culture."
The American Jewish Commit-
tee for the past three decades has
tried to persuade the citizens of
Oberammergau to abandon the
script written in 1850 by a local
priest, the Rev. Joseph Alois
Daisenberger, which has been
used for more than a century, and
substitute one by the Rev. Fer-
dinand Rosner, a Benedictine
priest, written in 1750. In the
almost three and a half centuries
since the village began the
Passion Play tradition, it has
been performed in at least five
different versions.
OVER THE years, rep-
resentatives of the AJC have
consulted with leaders of the
Oberammergau community and
with German government,
Catholic and Protestant church
leaders. In the hopes of bringing
about positive changes in the
1980 production that would
conform with the best of con-
temporary scholarship, they
made four trips to Oberam-
mergau in the past two years.
Four AJC leaders attended the
opening performance of the play
last month, and reported on their
return that, "despite a number of
significant changes in the script,
the present production could not
help but nurture and incite
hatred and contempt for Judaism
and the Jewish people."
Among the many German
publications that supported this
view was the Suddeutsche Zei-
tung of Munich, regarded
generally as the most dis-
tinguished daily newspaper in
Bavaria. An article by Hannes
Burger in the issue of May 24
stated:
"The 1980 revision has cut

basis of research studies he
arried out over seven years.

J diabetes almost unknown
te the fact that virtually all
consumed there were of
I origin from mutton, beef,
ken and "samneh" (de-
hydrated butter). Oil was used in
very small quantities.
After the Yemenites came to
Israel, they changed their food
habits completely. Their con-
sumption of vegetable fats, as
compared to animal fats, became
higher than the equivalent ratios
anywhere else in the Western
world. The ratio among them is
one to one, whereas in the United
States the censumpton of animal
fat is double that of vegetable
fats, the rate of ischemic heart
disease among the Yemenites
increased, until it has now
reached half the rate among other
Israelis, and is continuing its up-
ward trend.
Dr. Cohen says this does not
mean that vegetable fats are the
cause of the increase in the in-
cidence of heart disease among
the Yemenite Jews. In changing
their diet, they considerably
increased their consumption of
sucrose so that the prevalence of
diabetes, previously unknown
among them, is now high. They
have also changed completely the
social pattern of their lives, be-
coming Westernized.
Finally. Dr. Cohen points out
that there are clear links between
obesity and ischemic heart
disease, and between diabetes
and ischemic heart disease.
Therefore, eating more sweets or
getting too fat may be the key.
Dr. Cohen is continuing his
investigation. Nevertheless,
bearing in mind the fact that
most of the fats the Yemenite
Jews ate in Yemen came from '
animal sources, without their
getting heart disease, it seems
probable that dairy products,
meat fat and eggs may soon be

Unity in Jerusalem
Meeting simultaneously with the UN-sponsored
women's forum in Copenhagen is a group of 20
prominent American and Canadian women leaders
now gathered in Jerusalem.
The UN group in Copenhagen, despite the best
efforts of some of the more level-headed souls at-
tending, is the ring for Round 2 of an anti-Israel,
Zionism equals racism attack sponsored by the
Palestinians. Mound 1 was five years ago in Mexico
City.
Both these events walked away from their
deliberations tainted by the grim reality that a
genuine examination of women's problems world-
wide took second place to a vicious politicization of
their agenda.
In contrast, the Jerusalem meeting is en-
couraging dialogue among women representing the
three major religious denominations with historic
ties to the City of Jerusalem.
As Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D., N.Y.I said.
"This conference is an excellent opportunity to
move beyond the political realities of turmoil and
conflict which plague many countries in the Middle
East, and toward a genuine sharing of experiences
and common efforts."
The Copenhagen slugfest was divisive. The
Jerusalem gathering hopes to unite.
Meeting Our Pledge
In response to requests from Israel's Prime
Minister Begin to meet our share of the 525 million
of Israel Bond dollars needed, the Miarr com-
munity has been quick to respond with pa\ nents
for Israel Bond pledges made during the last six
months.
Gary R. Gerson, general campaign chairman of
the South Florida Israel Bonds campaign, notes
that peace in the Jewish State doesn't come cheap.
Israel is forced, because of its peace treaty with
Egypt, to remove many development towns,
military installations and factories from the Sinai
area to the Negev. This relocation process is very
costly, and the world Jewish community must help
with their purchases of Israel Bonds.
Hence, South Florida is now pledged to the sale
of $225 million in Israel Bonds before the end of the
year.
With inflation in Israel running at nearl 133
percent, and with a defense budget of 35 percent
just to maintain security that we take for granted,
the Israelis are desperately in need of aid to build
their agricultural projects, roads and various busi-
ness industries.
Our pledge must be made good.

AMSTERDAM Karl Weiss.
the Jewish artist in the television
series Holocaust, who perished in
Auschwitz, did indeed exist His
real name was Bedrich Fritta.
and the life of this man was
featured in Holocaust In the
film, it is recorded how Karl
Weiss was deported and how the
Germans in Therensienstadt
forced him to paint for them. In
the end. however, they trans-
ported him. after having tor-
tured him to Auschwitz. This
was because he made drawings in
secret about the real situation in
Theresienstadt.
What, in Holocaust, was the
fate of Karl Weiss, happened in
reality to Bedrich Fritta. With
his wife Hansi and their little son.
Thomas, they arrived in
Theresiensaadt in 1942. Being an
artist. Bedrich was ordered to
work in the drawing office.
Together with other people who
had been set to work there, he
made sketches of the daily
happenings, based on such
themes as starvation, disease.
humiliation and death. These
were smuggled out of the camp.
Some of these drawings are in the
possession of the Jewish Museum
in Prague
THE GERMANS found out
about the secret drawings. The
Holocaust film shows what really
happened. Bedrich Fritta died at
the age of 35. His wife. Hansi,
who stayed behind in
Theresienstadt, also perished.
Only their three-year-old son
survived
On the boy's birthday on
January 22. 1944. his father drew
sketches that were meant to Let
Tommy know what really
happened in the camp. They are
very touching drawings. These
were hidden in a wall in
Theresienstadt. Later, they were
retrieved as Prof. Leo Haas, who

An American Hostage in Moscow
HAIFA Last week was a
sad unniversary in the life of an
American Jew stranded in
Moscow. It was exactly five
years ago, June 19, 1975, that
Abe Stolar, his wife and son
stood on the tarmac at Moscow
airport, prepared to board the
plane that would take them out of
Russia, en route to Israel. The
exit visas had been granted.
Their personal belongings had
been sent on ahead. And then, at
the last moment, they were
turned back.
In the five years since then
there has been no adequate, no
satisfactory explanation. As a
native-born American citizen,
Abe Stolar holds an American
passport, but the State
Department has either been
unable to do anything or has in
the past been unwilling to make
too big a fuss.
ABE HAS somehow main
tained his optimism through all
these years, and perhaps that
explains why the family still
lives, literally, out of its suit-
cases. A recent visitor to Moscow
has described the Stolar apart-
ment. It is sparsely furnished,
with only the barest of
necessities. One suitcase serves
as a book shelf. Another suitcase
has clothing draped over it. The
sole decoration in the living room
Carl
Alpert
is a wall' montage of interesting
newspaper clippings, not
necessarily about the family.
Mrs. Stolar explained
apologetically that once they had
a lovely place, but everything
had been disposed of when they
were about to leave. Abe refuses
to make the flat more homey, still
anticipating that sudden word
may come, permitting them to
leave.
He is of medium build, not tall
his hair almost white. With all his
own problems, he finds time to
help others, Christians and Jews
alike. He used to enjoy reading

Platform Plank
GOP Affirms 'Strategic
Importance' of Israel
By JOSEPH POLAKOFF
WASHINGTON -
||JTA) Republican plat-
form writers in Detroit who
irafted their Middle East
)lank based its philosophy
jn U.S. aid for economic
jnd military programs to
ill states in the region to
>ffset Soviet inroads and
radicalism in the area.
Reports reaching here on the
ivork of the Mideast subcom-
littee, headed by Rep. Jack
Cemp of New York, also indicate
I hut it favors a ban on Palestine
Liberation Organization involve-
nil in in the peace process and
tresses that "the sovereignty,
ecurity and integrity of the
l> of Israel" are "of utmost
iportance to the U.S."
"REPUBLICANS affirm our
[fundamental and enduring com-
Imiiment to this principle," the
preliminary plank's language
bout Israel says. "We will
continue to honor our nation's
|cc mi in it merit through political,
liplomatic, economic and
military aid."
The plank states further, "We
Ifully recognize the strategic
I importance of Israel and the
jdelerrent role of its armed forces
lin the Middle East and the East-
|West military equation."
With respect to Jerusalem, the
lank says, "Republicans believe
Ihiit .Jerusalem "should remain
Undivided with continued free,
|>pen and unimpeded access to all
religious and holy sites of all
religions." It does not mention,
however, Israeli sovereignty over
all of Jerusalem, nor does It refer
U> moving the U.S. Embassy to
Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
RECOGNIZING the general-
izations of support with respect
o Israel but the absence of
specifics, such as those on
Jerusalem, friends of Israel in
it roil are understood to be
seeking amendments to reinforce
support of Israel. Among these,
Ithe Jewish Telegraphic Agency
was informed, are inclusion of
Jlanguage stating that Jerusalem
lis under Israeli sovereignty, that
Israel is entitled to "secure and
defensible borders," that United
Nations Security Council Reso-
lutions 242 and 338 continue to
underpin the peace process and
Ithat previous U.S. commitments
to Israel, such as the guarantee
|of oil supplies, will be continued.
Former New York State Su-
Ipreme Court Justice Richard
IRosenbaum of Rochester, a
LRepublican National Committee-
Iman and a member of the New
[York State Executive Committee
[supporting the nomination of
Gov. Reagan: his pres-
idential Mideast platform.
Ronald Reagan, told the JTA
thai he is seeking to include such
elements in the Mideast plank.
"We don't want to make
promises to kid the people." he
said. "At the same time, we do
want to have clear language that
says in detail insofar as possible,
the principles to which the
Republican Party is firmly com-
mitted that assure Israel the
Middle East's only democracy
we stand with her unwaver-
ingly"
THE LONG draft says that
the "first signs of Soviet suc-
cess" in Moscow's attempts to
"gain decisive leverage" in the
Middle East by taking advan-
tage of "upheavals" there "are
already evident i the recent
proposals by European countries
to include the PLO in the West
Hank autonomy talks. Repub-
licans befieve that the
restoration of order and stability
to the region must be premised
upon an understanding of the
inter-relationship between Soviet
and radical Palestinian goals.
"Our long and short term
policies for the area must be
developed in consultation with
our NATO allies, Israel, Egypt
and other friends in the area.
With respect to the ultimate
peace settlement, Republicans
reject any call for the involve-
ment of the PLO as not in
keeping with the long term
interests of either Israel or the
Palestinian Arabs. The im-
putation of legitimacy to an
organization not yet willing to
acknowledge the fundamental
right of existence of the State of
Israel is wrong.
"REPEATED indications,
even when subsequently denied,
of the Carter Administration's
involvement with the PLO, have
done serious harm to the
credibility of U.S. policy in the
Middle East and have en-
couraged the PLO's position of
intransigence."

By GIL SEDAN
JERUSALEM (JTA)
Independent Presi-
dential candidate John
Anderson delighted his
Israeli hosts when he de-
nounced the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization and
declared that U.S. pressure
on Israel was no way to
achieve peace.
Earlier, the Republican
Congressman from Illinois,
on a four-day visit to
Israel, told reporters that
the U.S. should ban arms
sales to Arab countries
which refuse to cooperate
in the peace process.
ANDERSON was the guest of
honor at a dinner given by
Justice Minister Shmuel Tamir
on behalf of the government at
the King David Hotel. In the
course of his speech, he called on
those who believe that the PLO
has moderated its position to
provide proof of that.
"After what happened at
Misgav Am and Hebron, and
following El Fatah's reaffirrha-
tion of its charter calling for the
dissolution of the State of Israel,
the burden of proof becomes
even more difficult," he said.
He took exception to state-
ments by American politicians
an apparent reference to the
GOP Presidential nominee,
Ronald Reagan that Israel is
an "asset" to the U.S. This, he
claimed, was offensive because
"an asset was an object to be
manipulated, to be used, to be
handled for the convenience of
others." Anderson preferred the
term "valued strategic partner"
for the U.S. and to safeguard
Western interests.
HE ALSO took an indirect
swipe at the Carter Adminis-
tration wjien he said peace in the
Middle East could not be
achieved either by exerting
pressure on Israel or creating
tension between the U.S. and
Israel. He reaffirmed his support
for the Camp David accords,
deplored those who belittled the
Egyptian- Israeli peace treaty
and stressed "the immense
regard America has for President
(Anwar) Sadat's courage and
boldness in seeking a settlement
with Israel."
John Anderson
Following meetings with
Israeli leaders, Anderson told
reporters that the U.S. is
"giving away a card if we engage
in unrestricted sales of arms to
Arab countries without getting
some concessions first, such as
that they will cooperate in an
effort to achieve Middle East
peace and indicate a willingness
to join the U.S., Egyptian,
Israeli (autonomy) discussions
now under way."
He also castigated the West
European nations for saying at
their summit conference in
Venice last month that the PLO
should become a party to the
Mideast peace talks. After
meeting with Foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir, Anderson said
he was "now more confident
than ever that Israel is dedicated
to seeing a successful conclusion
to the Palestinian autonomy
negotiations."
ANDERSON toured the West
Bank and visited the Jewish
settlement of Maale Adumim.
Meanwhile, Mayor Elias Freij of
Bethlehem declared that he
would not meet the American
Presidential hopeful because he
supports Israeli policies of
settlement and annexation and is
ignorant of Palestinian rights.
Freij said he had been ap-
proached by Anderson aides to
try to arrange a meeting. Ander-
son got a similar snub from King
Hussein of Jordan.

Nablus Mayor
Shafca Has Hero's Welcome
By YITZHAK SHARGIL
NABLUS (JTA) -
[Mayor Bassam Shaka, who
[lost both legs in the June 2
bomb attacks on West
Bank Arab mayors, has
Icome home to a hero's
(welcome after undergoing
treatment for more than a
month in Amman, Jordan.
Thousands of people
jammed the streets to
cheer as Shaka arrived
with his wife in an ambu-
lance which picked him up
at the Allenby Bridge
across the Jordan River.
Heavily armed Israeli troops
were also visible in' evidence of
the tight security clamped on
this town to forestall possible
extremist demonstrations. Shaka
himself was forbidden to speak
to reporters.
FOR THE crippled mayor, his
entry into his home town was a
duplicate of the rousing send-off
he received on the Jordanian side
of the bridge. Busloads and car-
loads of well-wishers assembled
there to cheer and shout "Long
live the Palestinian revolution."
Shaka made the most of it.
Wearing brown pajamas, the
bandaged stumps of his maimed
legs clearly showing, he circled
the waiting ambulance twice in
his wheelchair to allow photog-
raphers and television camera-
men ample time to record the
event on tape and film. He will
leave Nablus in about a month
for either England or France to
be fitted with artificial limbs.
Meanwhile, Sulieman Hirbawi,
a Druze border police sapper who
was severely injured on June 2
while dismantling a bomb in-
tended .for the Mayor of El-
Bireh, returned to his home in
the Western Galilee village of
Jullis on a temporary leave from
I l.ulassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
HE IS DUE back at the hos-
pital shortly for plastic surgery
and further attmepts to save
what remains of his eyesight.
Hirbawi lost one eye and most of
the vision of the other in the
bombing outrage which has yet
to be solved.
Continued from Page 1
was that Libya should be the
recipient of the first Irtamic
Bomb.
Tibbenham's researches and
interviews revealed a wide-
ranging and complex operation,
financed by hundreds of millions
of dollars from Libya but made
possible by the involvement of
several important European
companies, (including British
ones), which provided both the
sophisticated technology and the
uranium needed by the
Pakistanis.
THE URANIUM itself was
provided for the Pakistanis
mainly from a mining company in
Nigeria, owned by the French
and headed by Jacques Giscard
d'Estaing, a cousin of the
President. Libya provided some
150 tons of Nigerian uranium
while twice as much was shipped
directly to Pakistan and her
nuclear processing plant located
near the capital, Islamabad.
Interviewed on the program,
Edward Luttwak, the well-known
American-Jewish military
analyst, said that whereas the
Israeli Air Force would be quite
capable of taking out any nuclear
plant located in Iraq or even
Libya, it was less likely to be able
to do so in the far-away capital of
Pakistan.
What the Panorama program
failed to point out, however, is'
that the Islamic Bomb, in the
hands of "Qadaffi, presents as
great a threat to Islamic Egypt,
with which the Libyan ruler is
now in bitter conflict, as to Israel.
THE AUTHORS of the
"Strategic Survey" do not
discount the Libyan in-
volvement, even though Gen. Zia
has denied it. "With rapidly
dwindling foreign exchange
reserves, a mounting foreign debt
and domestic economic dif-
ficulties, Pakistan would have
found it extremely difficult to
finance the nuclear centrifuge
project estimated to cost
several hundred million dollars
and Libya, which already has an
extensive range of political,
military and economic contacts
with Pakistan, could be a logical
source of financial support," the
Survey stated.

I JOSEPH POLAKOFF
(Washington)
3 American Embassy
Aviv moved quickly
dampen a burgeoning
[between Israel and the
1, triggered by a Jewish
[graphic Agency report
ecretary of State Ed-
Muskie's reply to a
btion about the Pales-
Liberation Organiza-
at a meeting of the
eign Policy Association
ew York.
Israeli government has
dtly requested "clari-
on" from Washington on
basis of the report which
Muskie as stating that
I.S. would have to recognize
jLO at some point. The
assy released the full text of
tie's remarks at the ques-
andanswer session pur-
ng to show that the Sec-
did not make the state-
fattributed to him.
IE STATE Department's
\ spokesman, John Trattner,
in reply to questions in
fehington that Muskie "did
[mention the PLO in answer
he question."
IV question, put by Time
azine editor-in-chief Henry
nwald, was: "Has anything
Inged in the (Mideast)
Ration since the visit of King
ssein to Washington and are
closer to recognizing, or
[ing the need to recognize, the
3'"
luskie began his reply, ac-
ling to the text released by
i U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, by
ring, "What we must do at
point of course is to
|>aden the negotiating base to
lude representatives of the
|lestinian people and the other
jntries in the area. For the
pincnt, that broadening does
; seem possible."
HJT, ACCORDING to the
^nscript obtained by the JTA
Washington, Muskie said:
Perhaps we must do it at some
jint, of course, to broaden the
gotiating base to include rep-
?entatives of the Palestinian
ople in the other countries of
area. For the moment, that
oadening does not seem to be
Issible."
The Embassy transcript did
dw, however, that Muskie did
ft offer the qualification voiced
previous Secretaries of State
response to similar questions
that the PLO must first recog-
te Israel's right to exist and
cept UN Security Council
^solutions 242 and 388.
[U.S. diplomats in Tel Aviv
kserved in that connection that
kd the Secretary intended to
produce a major change in U.S.
tyicy (toward the PLO) he would
ily have done so by an act of
mission in a rambling and di-
Ursive statement of this land.
I IN THE course of his lengthy
[ply, Muskie defended the Camp
v>d process from "complaints
Dm Arab countries, the left and
H, from our European friends
others that we ate not
fctiing anywhere." He stressed
I""! "this is the only process that
>s gotten anywhere."
He spoke of the tough nature
the issues being dealt with in
>e autonomy talks and observed
Wt "If the parties manage to
ess that process to an agree-
then the challenge will be
broaden the negotiating base
'bring in others."
kBut, he added, "I think we are
koing to have to achieve some-
thing more by way of an agree-
ment, especially with respect to
Autonomy, before we have any
orospect of broadening the base."
COMMENTING on that
matter at the State Department,
Trattner said. "For the moment"
he saw no broadening. Replying
to a question about including
representatives of the Palestinian
people in the process, he said
whether it "will include people
you describe would depend
large part on the attitude of the
PLO on Israel's right to exist and
Security
(242."
Council Resolution
Asked if "representatives of
the Palestinian people" was
Muskie's way of saying the PLO,
Trattner replied, "not neces-
sarily." He said Muskie's
response "meets the standard
and criteria" of what the State
Department has been saying with
relation to what Muskie hopes
may develop.

Former Nazis in U.S.
Are They Being Protected Secretly?
By JOSEPH POLAKOFF CIA
WASHINGTON -
(JTA> The dismissal of
denaturalization proceed-
ings against a Russian-
born U.S. citizen. Tscherim
Soobzokov. of Paterson
NJ.. because the State
Department and the Cen-
tral Agency knew of his
services to the Nazis in
World War II. has raised
questions here that remain
unanswered.
IS. 1963. far
One question is whether other
aJfeged former Sum in the L' S
are protected from effective
prosecution because of similar
covers provided them; another is
why the cover-op of Soobzokov
was not disclosed earlier,
because he was granted citizen-
ship in Paterson on Apri IT.
1961
FEDERAL JUDGE H Lee
Sorokin dismissed the pro-
ceedings on a motion by Allan
Ryan. Jr.. director of the Justice
Department s Office of Special
Investigation iOSIi In a seven-
page press statement. Ryan said
that his office did not allege that
"Soobzokov bad actually taken
part in the persecution of any
person because of race, religion
or political beliefs" and that
"such accusations had been
made by others.
He added that he did not
Mbotc we had sufficient
evidence to prove that Soob-
zokov had in fact taken pan in
persecution."
Furthermore. Ryan said. We
cannot base a denaturauzation
action on Soobzokov' member-
ship in Nazi organizations, but
we can proceed only on a
showing that the defendant
concealed his affiliation with
such organizations.'
SOOBZOKOV is currently
chief of the Purchasing Depart-
ment for Passaic County. N'.J
On Dec. 5. 1979. the U.S. Attor-
ney General's Office and the
Justice Department s Office of
Special Investigation
served him with a denatural-
ization notice. The notice ac-
cused him of concealing his col-
laboration with the Waff en SS
and his participation in Nazi
atrocities in and around
Kransnador, in the Transcaucus.
Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman ID,
N.Y.i, chairwoman of the House
Judiciary Committee's subcom-
mittee on immigration, declared
m a statement that she is
angered by implications" of the
proceedings leading to dismissal
of the denaturalization pro-
ceedings against Soobzokov. She
said that "this once again raises
the spectre of possible con-
nivance and collusion on the part
of our government in admitting
and providing sanctuary to
suspected Nazis and makes it all
the more imperative that a
thorough investigation be con-
ducted about our government's
35-year history of inaction in
these cases."
Ryan disclosed that Soob-
zokov had, in an apparently
valid document, disclosed over
his signature in 1952 to U.S.
Consular officials at the Amer-
ican Embassy in Amman.
Jordan, where he was then
living, his affiliation with the
Waffen SS, the North Caucasian
Legion and the Tachtamukai
town police.
THE CIA. Ryan said, "ad-
vised us that it had in its pos-
session a copy of the form V-30
itself as the defendant had
produced it to us, and a copy of
an operational memorandum
dated Aug. 3, 1953 from the
American Embassy in Amman
to th- Department of State." In
addition. Ryan disclosed, "The
CIA also had a cover letter from
the State Department to the
_ the CIA's views on the
dwekwed therein."
said the CIA dad not
the three ilrn iimij
it *" not free to release'
the CIA did not
bat "winch
to it from the State
Department"'
Ryan said the State Depart-
ment informed him "* can find
no evidence that the V-30 form
had bean fiDed oat by the defen-
dant. However. Ryan pointed
out. many applications for nav
ngrauon visas from the mid-
1950s have since been 'routinely
destroyed" and that the State
Department cannot state that
Soobzokov did not complete
such a form.
WITH RESPECT to why
these facts were not disclosed
earlier. Ryan said I am satisfied
that the shortcomings in the
procedures used in this case were
nothing more than a legitimate
misunderstanding of what was
necessary to make such full dis-
closure to us."
Since Soobzokov also was
accused of fading to disclose
"certain convictions in the
Soviet Union prior to World War
II Rvan said he had expected
evidence to show dearly and
convTncmgh the nature of those
convictions." But. he added "I
am not satisfied that we can
prove" the existence of the
alleged convictions or "the acts
that gave rise to them "
At the Department of Justice,
a top aide to Ryan told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency that
the JTA had raised good ques-
tions" about the ramifications of
this case and possible im-
plications for others under the
CIA development. The aide sug-
gested mmkttiiig with the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service 'INSi and the State
Department- The latter agreed to
rpovide the JTA with a
response.
THE QUESTIONS raised bv
the JTA included whether the

a carbohydrate rich diet,

fats, mainly triglycerides
cholesterol, because their
live lack of insulin response
torces the metabolism of most of
the substances eaten through the
liver, with a resultant over-
production of blood fat particles,
and retention in the circulation.
Nevertheless on this diet they do
not gain weight and do not
become overly diabetic.
When the spiny mice are put
on a diet rich in fat substances,
but not in carbohydrates, there is
no increase in the fat in the blood
circulation, but they gain weight,
mainly through the growth of
their fat tissues. Together with
the weight gain, there is con-
current resistance to insulin,
glucose intolerance, occasional
gflucosuria (secretion of glucose
into the urine) and progress
toward overt diabetes.
"THIS CLEAR distinction
between the effects of car-
bohydrate and fat diets in the
'spiny mice' represents a unique
model for a similar study of
humans changing their diets
during the transition from
prehistoric to modern nutrition,"
Dr. Shafrir says. His work ap-
pears to support the discoveries
of Dr. A.M. Cohen on the
Yemenite immigrants who
changed to a Western diet. It has
obvious implications for working
out which types of diet are less
likely to be conducive to diabetes.
Dr. Alisa Gutman, a member
of Dr. Shafrir's department
works with "fat sand rats," also
found in the Dead Sea region. She
says that these rats, compared to
the usual laboratory white rats,
convert large percentages of their
food intake into fats. Even after
the animals are subsequently
made to fast, they still produce
fat.
The resulting obesity seems to
be the trigger for the develop-
ment of glucose intolerance and
diminished sensitivity of the
tissues to insulin. These animals
are being bred by Dr. Jonathan
Adler of the Department of
Physiology of the Hebrew
University-Hadassah Medical
School.
Experiments now in progress
aim at discovering whether the
composition of the diet, or only
the amount eaten, is the decisive
factor in the rats developing
obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and
eventual pancreatic breakdown.

THERE ARE three men in the

News in Brief
Attempt on Gen. Sharon Foiled
TEL A\ IV An assassina-
tion attempt on the life of Israel's
Agriculture Minister Ariel
Sharon was thwarted this week
when security forces detained
four Arabs.
All are from the Gaza Strip and
were especially recruited for the
attempted killing by the Pales-
tine Liberation Organization. The
four are said to have confessed to
security forces investigators that
they were told to kill Sharon as
one of the hardest blows to Israel.
The choice of Sharon was
apparently made by the PLO
because he is in charge of Israel's
settlement policy and because he
is a military- hero from past
Israeli wars.
It was reported here that the
terrorists made careful
preparations beginning as far
back as a year ago. One of the
quartet went to work in a packing
house near Sharon's farm in the
south, and it was from there that
he sent back information as to
the ways Sharon came and went
from his home on the farm.
The terrorists are alleged to
have collected material on Sharon
which they put into a special file.
Apparently, the plan was to
attack him with explosives and
gunfire while at his home. Their
arrest came in the final stages of
their assassination preparations.
They will face a military tribunal
soon.
BEIRUT Not all Arabs love
Vasir Arafat, as the Third World
would have everyone believe.
Four right-wing Christian
military units vowed this week to
smash the dreams of the chief
of the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
Their target is to undermine
Arafat's attempt "to establish
himself as protector of Lebanon
when he should consider himself
and all Palestinians only as
refugees in this country."
The statement, issued by an
organization called "Lebanese
Forces." is determined to oust
Arafat and the PLO from
Lebanon which the terrorists are
using as a base of operations
against Israel.
The statement is the result of
the union of the four Christian
units, who have frequently
warred against one another in the
past.
JERUSALEM Prime
Minister Begin left Hadassah
Hospital Monday in what his
doctor described as a very
satisfactory condition after
treatment for a mild heart attack
he suffered two weeks ago.
However. Dr. Mervyn Got-
tesman said Begin would have to
rest at home for another two
weeks and continue to take "light
medication" before he can resume
his regular work load.
On leaving the hospital. Begin
told reporters that the Arabs can
have "even 20 flags flying in
Jerusalem" provided that the
Arab states recognize Israel and
Jerusalem as its capital. He made
that remark when asked to
comment on President Anwar
Sadat's recent observation that it
would be in Israel's interest to
have Arab flags raised over the
Moslem holy sites in Jerusalem.
NEW YORK There has
been a decline of more than 60
percent in the number of Soviet
Jews allowed to emigrate during
May and June compared to the
same period last year, Jerry
Goodman, executive director of
the National Conference on
Soviet Jewry, said here.
He said the decline was due to
an initiative started last year by
Soviet authorities to stem the
tide of Jewish emigration. The
Soviets, Goodman explained,
tightened the requirements for
den. Sharon
receiving exit visas on the basis
of having relatives outside the
USSR. Consequently, only
15.500 Jews have left the Soviet
Union so far this year compared
with 25.000 during the same
period in 1979.
JERUSALEM The Cabinet
Sunday approved the ap-
pointment of David Kimche as
the new director general of the
Foreign Ministry. He took over
the post Monday replacing Yosef
Ciechanover. who has resigned at
his own request.

journalist and author is a senior
official of the Mossad. the Israeli
Intelligent* Agency, and a
personal friend of Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir. He
